Trump announced that a peace agreement between the U.S. and Iran would be signed as early as June 14
U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the United States and Iran could sign a peace agreement as early as Sunday, June 14.
According to the American leader, once the agreements take effect, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz—one of the world’s most important energy routes—will be fully restored.
“Tomorrow, the U.S. and Iran will sign a peace agreement. Immediately after the signing, the Strait of Hormuz will be open to all,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The Strait of Hormuz is of strategic importance to the global economy, as about 20% of global maritime oil exports pass through it. Its full reopening could help stabilize energy markets and reduce tensions in the Middle East.
Earlier, representatives from the U.S., Iran, and Pakistan reported that the parties were close to finalizing an agreement, which could also address issues surrounding Iran’s nuclear program and provide security guarantees for shipping in the region.

Iran has strengthened the protection of its highly enriched uranium stockpiles by setting up booby traps and blocking access to underground storage facilities. According to sources, in recent weeks Tehran has been deliberately destroying the entrances to underground tunnels, further fortifying storage facilities, and making access to potential uranium stockpiles more difficult.
The IAEA Board of Governors adopted a resolution requiring Iran to immediately provide information on its uranium stockpiles. The decision marks another step in international pressure on Tehran amid the escalating situation surrounding its nuclear program.
